    Vivid's new flagship Giya G1 "Spirit" launch in Chicago 11 Feb. 2017

    I don't think this mode is due to the tweeter. As I write in the review, "There is a low-level mode evident at 9.6kHz, which I imagine is the upper-midrange unit's primary dome resonance after it has been suppressed by the crossover's steep low-pass filter..."...

    Stereophile and Magico

    I have been discussing a review of the S5 Mk.II with Magico and I have asked for a pair for review to be delivered at the beginning of August. John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile

    Stereophile and Magico

    No, but the YG does break into parts that are much easier to move around, as does the Wilson. And Wilson provides a wheeled dolly with a built-in scissor jack that can be inserted beneath the speaker, then raised to make it relatively easy to maneuver. Moving the one-piece Magico S7, at 300 lbs...

    Stereophile and Magico

    We are interested, of course, but it is complicated, not the least because the bulk of some Magico speakers makes the logistics of a review problematic. See the review Michael Fremer did of the Q5 for an example: http://www.stereophile.com/content/magico-q5-loudspeaker-measurements . Our neglect...

    Non-Conformist Speaker Bias?

    I loved the sound of the Salon2 and it also measured superbly well. Indeed. I have heard some great dems of the K2 9800 and we very positively reviewed the Synthesis 1400, which was designed by Greg Timbers, a few years back...

    Non-Conformist Speaker Bias?

    Why would that be a relevant question? Only around 50% of the products reviewed in Stereophile are from companies that advertise. We have reviewed many panel speakers and horns over the years, just not in recent years (other than Herb Reichert last year on a small Maggie). Our choice of what...

    YG Acoustics Carmel 2

    Stereophile's review samples of the Carmel 2 were returned to YG after the review and I recently spoke with Yoav about what I heard and measured. He confirmed that these samples do have this cabinet resonance and suspects that there was something wrong internally. (He hasn't yet had time to take...

    Measurement Thread: Measured Effect of Speaker Isolators

    It' s documented on the Stereophile website. Ethan refused to conform to our posting rules, specifically our request that industry posters include their affiliation. Doesn't mean that we don't still recommend his RealTraps products or that Ethan and I don't have a cordial relationship. On...

    Sam Telling (Tom Gillett) causing quite a stir for Stereophile

    True, except that in the case of Stereophile's internal finances and such matters as how much I pay the magazine's contributors, you don't have a clue. Good idea. But one that happened too late. I regret to inform you that you failed the audition to be Sam Tellig's replacement :-) John...

    Sam Telling (Tom Gillett) causing quite a stir for Stereophile

    With all due respect, Marc, that is not correct. You wrote "Writing for stereophile is no way to get rich. They have lost a lot of talent over the years and more recently because they pay dick...Many of the writers at Stereophile are independently wealthy or are well heeled maintain [their]...
